Now out in Hippocampus!! 📣💥 We examined anatomical inputs to the hippocampal region in six species - the tenrec, rat, marmoset, cat, macaque, and human - and found that hippocampal processing operates on fundamentally different types of information across species! (1/3) dx.doi.org/10.1002/hipo...

The Computational and Cognitive Neural Sciences lab (ballardlab.org) at UC Riverside is recruiting psychology PhD students to join our team! Check out the flyer to learn about the lab and our stellar research community at UCR. Apply by 12/1! tinyurl.com/yjubmvvb

I'm recruiting PhD students this cycle! We study how the brain perceives, remembers, and predicts naturalistic experiences like movies and games, using computational tools to analyze behavioral and neural data 🧠 App deadline is 12/2/26 - see our lab pubs on our website www.dpmlab.org/pubs.html

Re-post 🔁 is appreciated! #neurojobs: we’re looking for new team members to join us @cmc-unit.bsky.social!
If you’d like to study decision-making in naturalistic & embodied contexts (integrating RL, RNNs & cross-species data analysis) in a cool & collaborative research environment 😎, check 👇

Great piece by OxCIN researcher @mattweightman26.bsky.social and long-standing collaborator Ned Jenkinson, making brain stimulation relevant and understandable for a non-academic audience.

Excited to see our fMRI paper is out, led by Itamar Kahn’s lab. Our grad students, Amir Lawen and Bella Succi, in collab with Darcy Peterka, built a setup for simultaneous fMRI and dopamine fiber photometry in awake behaving mice. We learned some new biology too. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

🧠 Is hierarchical reasoning uniquely human, or do we share this capacity across species and development? Our new paper in Cognition, "Flexibility of hierarchical reasoning across age and species," explores how humans and non-humans flexibly deploy recursive strategies! 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.co...

How do minds think about themselves, and how do we study it? New review in @natrevneuro.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I’m very proud to share this work with you! Fiorella and the team spent a lot of time thinking deeply about recent results; why are interoception and mental health unrelated? We think the field must escape the “quiescence trap” to progress!

I am able to take on new doctoral students through this amazing initiative! If you are interested please reach out to me by email to discuss.

delighted to share my review article, out now in Trends in Cognitive Sciences! i have been thinking a lot about dynamics lately. this article outlines three key principles - persistence, parallelism, and time-stamped encoding - that support human speech comprehension 🧠✨🌀

Pumped to get this out! Sarah made an elegant design and got a cool result. It highlights a challenge of our field: infants can resemble adults under some comparisons but those comparisons could disguise fundamental differences! Also this is the lab’s first prereg and it came out pretty clean!

Thank you to everyone sharing in this moment! I’m so grateful to all my trainees & collaborators… dlab.stanford.edu/group-members (pic: Peter and I together in 2017) Reading for all those asking: for technical details: dlab.stanford.edu for everyone: deisseroth.org/projections

New preprint from the lab! We built an atlas of functional ensembles across the zebrafish hindbrain, linking whole-hindbrain activity to behavior, structural organization, and molecular features. A few highlights below 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

We are thrilled 🥳 to share that we’re joining forces with @neuroprinciplist.bsky.social to establish a joint research unit, @cmc-unit.bsky.social integrating natural and embodied decision making across species! We also have open PhD and postdoc positions (check below for more info) 🎉

Our lab is growing: we are hiring a research tech to come work in our lab!!! Apply here: towson.taleo.net/careersectio... Reach out if you have any questions 🤩

This is a disturbing story - two published neuroscience papers that were seemingly completed AI generated retractionwatch.com/2026/10/01/o... It was only detected because of a vigilant peer reviewer on a third submission @deevybee.bsky.social.

Some months ago, I wrote a skeptical reply to a commentary on bots in online studies in PNAS, arguing that no evidence yet exists for such bots. Together with the authors of the original commentary, we now show that bots can pass (almost?) all online cognitive studies with human-like performance 1/n

I’m recruiting a PhD student to join my lab at Columbia! ✨ We study early development as a dynamic process between children & the people, places, & systems around them, integrating brain, behavior, physiology, & families’ lived experiences. Come join our vibrant lab - please share!

Thanks @cogneuronews.bsky.social for a great interview with @kvnguyen.bsky.social on our work on how exactly episodic memory and navigation are related!

New paper in eNeuro led by a fabulous undergraduate team in my lab in col. with Ed Silson! Navigation requires linking what you see with your memory. We asked how the functional organization of superior parietal cortex link scene perception with spatial memory. www.eneuro.org/content/13/9...

Dr. Tianjiao Zhang's landmark study of naturalistic navigation has been accepted in Nature Neuroscience! Encoding models fit 28,134 features to fMRI from a virtual taxi-driving task, revealing 11 distinct cortical regions that transform perception into action. Read the preprint. gallantlab.org

Hello friends, the Harvard Life Science departments have banded together to hire a new colleague working at the intersection of Life Sciences and AI. Could be primarily an experimentalist, or could be primarily a compute/theorist. academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/16773

Excellent comparative work from members of @nccrlanguage.bsky.social & @isle-uzh.bsky.social, challenging another “only-human” claim about language (we need more of this type of work): “Supra-regular recursion in primate vocal sequences” (Well done @balthasarbickel.bsky.social!) 🧪🗣️
